The story [of "Eyes in the Fishbowl"] is told from Dion's point of view and suffers from the limits of a 14-year-old's vocabulary and descriptive powers. Moreover, Madame Stregovitch's mischievous ghosts are only slightly amusing. It is especially hard to smile when they finally cause so much confusion at Alcott-Simpson's that the store is forced to go out of business.
